To not trust the elders/leaders of your church who are being addressed and tasked with enforcing discipline, is the same as not trusting the Lord who placed you in that position. It is difficult, because we are even told that it is better to suffer wrongly for the Lord's sake. In the end, we are...

Revelation 2:20 But I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, and by her teaching deceives my servants to commit sexual immorality and to eat food sacrificed to idols. What deception is involved with eating food sacrificed to idols? Is it saying...

15: 31 The ear that hears the reproof of life abides among the wise. 32 He that refuses instruction despises his own soul: but he that hears reproof gets understanding. Proverbs 17:10 A reproof enters more into a wise man than an hundred stripes into a fool.

Proverbs 10:17 He is in the way of life that keeps instruction: but he that refuses reproof errs. Proverbs 12:1 Whoever loves instruction loves knowledge, But he who hates correction is stupid. Proverbs 13:18 Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuses instruction: but he that regards...

2 Timothy 3: 16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. The bigger issue is whether or not someone would act or...

1 Corinthians 10: 15 I speak as to wise men; judge for yourselves what I say. 16 The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? 17 For we, though many, are one bread and one body...

Intelligence without the creativity of imagination is lifeless. "First God created everything, then He made it". Hence, the fall of man resulted in this condemnation: Genesis 6:5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his...

1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that...

As mentioned: Psalm 113: 5 Who is like the Lord our God, Who dwells on high, 6 Who humbles Himself to behold The things that are in the heavens and in the earth? Therefore, the answer to your question according to scripture, is to humble yourself. Luke 14:11 For whoever exalts himself will...

What God, or man made in His image chooses to do with that awareness is the issue. God is Love, and there by is found the supreme application of that awareness. Perfect faith is to fully trust in this truth, and find rest in Him. For; "Mercy triumphs over judgment". James 2:13 If perfect...

1 John 4: 17 Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world. 18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in...

Psalms 131 Verse Two Surely I have calmed and quieted my soul, Like a weaned child with his mother; Like a weaned child is my soul within me. A weaned child is not simply transitioning from milk to solid food. Weaning involves an infant learning to survive without the "suck reflex", by which...

Galatians 6:3 For if anyone thinks himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. How are we to comprehend and overcome this self-deception? In the preceding verse, Paul states: 1 Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in...
